OnlySunshine Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 [quote name='Mikaele' timestamp='1301961544' post='2225983'] I love the Franciscans of the Immaculate! [/quote] Yes, the Sisters are wonderful! I contacted Sr. Maria Consolatrice, their vocation director, and she was very sweet. If I didn't have to worry about my depression, I would consider discerning with them, but they are a mendicant order and so are unable to accept people who need medication for the rest of their lives. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSister2009 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I never knew so many different Franciscan Orders existed! Actually, I didn't realize how many Religious Orders existed in general until I began discernment! But my Franciscan Order, as everyone knows, are the Franciscan Sisters Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus and of Mary Immaculate. The fact that it's a Marian Order makes all the difference for me.

InPersonaChriste Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I think their are even less Benedictines on here. Sorry to be off topic but i thought I would throw that in. Plenty of Dominicans though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
